Kelly McWhorter is the executive director for the Greenwood Regional Tourism and Visitors Bureau.

"The hotels and restaurants tell us it’s one of their busiest weeks of the year," she said.

McWhorter explained area businesses, including restaurants and hotels, will see a boost in sales this week.

"Our economic impact here is well over $1 million, and we’re really excited about the opportunity to grow that in the future," McWhorter said.

Greenwood is on the way to Augusta, so McWhorter said business owners are making the most of their location.

"Our area businesses really reach out to the patrons. They run different specials, offer different discounts, golf discounts, even some of our places in town that have nightlife. They're booking entertainment for each night that the Masters guests are here," McWhorter said.

Restaurant owner Kevin Prater said the tournament boosts his business at least 20 percent if not more. Prater and his staff prepared for this week in advance.

"The Masters is pretty prestigious and we want to make sure we relay that same message in Greenwood just like they do in Augusta," Prater said.
